During the development of module the integration at the level of information exchange with the external Invision Power Board forum, which is actively used by employees and clients of the Robert Bosch Russia, was performed.

All active user forum accounts were transferred to the portal and access to the forum directly through the forum was closed. Thereby access to the forum became tightly controlled on the administrators side of the Robert Bosch company departments, and customers got an ability to use a universal portal account to access all the company resources.

The module provides the following roles: "Forum Administrator" and "Forum User".

Logging the forum is performed automatically after the successful loginto the portal (transparentauthorization). Synchronization of user data from profile (user card) is automatically performed from BOSCH B2B Portal to the forum.

"Integrated Forum" module allows users to create new topics and write messages in the forum sections topics to which they have access.

The main purpose of the "Integrated Forum" module implementation was the realization of BOSCH B2B Portal communication with corporate forum at the level of the general authorization and providing partners with access to authorized forum sections, as well as providing clients, business partners and Robert Bosch Ukraine employees with ability to communicate on any topic individually within the created order.
